Recipe Tip
Parsnips are a root vegetable similar in shape and appearance to carrots, but are larger and creamy white to creamy light yellow in color. Fresh parsnips are available all year, but peak season is fall and winter. The texture of cooked parsnips is similar to potatoes or carrots and the flavor is sweeter than a carrot. Look for small to medium parsnips for best flavor and texture. Store in plastic bags in refrigerator up to 1 month.
